Reminds me of the time I almost won the Darwin award. A girlfriend and I were saddling up some horses in her barn, but a huge "cow" was snorting and pawing around the door, not allowing us out.
My galfriend said, "Go scare that cow away."
I replied, "How do I do that?"
She looked at me as if I was stupid and said, "Go up to it and stomp, that should scare it off."
(It was after all, her livestock, and being the city slicker that I am, I figured she knew which "cows" were friendly and which were not. So I followed her instructions.)
So, I naively went up to the cow and menacingly stomped my foot.

Bad mistake.

The "cow" in question was a Brahma bull, who apparently was not on the same page as we were.

I had no sensation of my feet touching the ground as I hurdled towards the safety of the barn with an enraged bull snorting at my heels.

I once had a simular experience with a Brahma bull. My girl friend and I were going to a costume/square dance party at this dude ranch. We decided to dress up in a cow outfit with me in the front and the front legs and her in the back in the back legs. It was very hot in the costume and we had to go down this winding road to get to the barn where the dance was. I decided to take a shortcut across this field when half the way across we catch the attention of this Brahma bull. My girl friend started to panic and asked me what to do. I told her to be quiet and to stand real still, which we did. The bull came up to us and started sniffing around, got to the rear of us and start pushing on my girl friend and making a lot of strange noices. Suddenly it started to lick her backside. She whispered to me, "My God what are we going to do now". I whispered back, "I'm fixing to bend over and eat some grass, I suggest you brace yourself".

You think that girl friend was getting ready to dump you any-ways...she would have known better to tell anybody to challenge a bull like that!?
